MOVED

Well, I moved last week. It was probably the longest 2 weeks of my life. I had been staying up to at least midnight every night packing. I was going thru things - throwing things out - sheets, towels, etc. Went thru my craft stuff and purged there too.
I had called 800-GOTJUNK and they came Thursday morning before the movers. A truck and a half later (and $979 later) all my junk was gone. Old suitcases, crib/mattress, raft/oars, you name it I had it. But it's gone now. And the good news is since the tax refund came in my checking account - Ed did pay for it. He just doesn't know it yet.
Then the movers came and I told them to please try and get it all in one truck. You see, they didn't think it would all fit so I rented a uhaul just to be on the safe side. But Jeff, John and Bed worked magic and got it all in the truck - except for the stuff I had in my car, in Mary's (my DIL) car and down at my neighbors. Mary came over and helped and I couldn't have gotten it done if she hadn't come over. I was so tired and sore Thursday night I could barely walk.
Got up Friday, returned the truck, went to the bank. Went for the walk thru at my new house. Went to settlement for my old house and except for Ed being there - it went off without a hitch. Then went to the settlement for my new house and for spending $300,000 I got a bottle of wine, a book and a gift card to a restaurant. I own my own townhouse - all by myself. Then I went to meet the truck and I slept there Friday night. I can't believe all the boxes that are around and I thought I packed things together but I keep finding half of something - LOL.
On Monday, the TV/Internet/phone was hooked up and I hope to unpack at least 2 or 3 boxes a night. Right now I'm so tired I've been going to bed around 9:30 - I think the last 2 weeks are catching up to me.
But I can't wait to get it all organized - I love my house. It's so cute.
